Which of this? I agree with Scott, well, in a more understanding, and
smiling way but still. I took the phone from the charger this morning,
and it's almost dead now at the end of the workday, without me having
used it at all. But I know there's work on improving this, and some nice
results too, and I'm ok with this now. For real use, the current battery
life just doesn't work in most cases.
As for the other stuff in the mail, people have been fighting with sim
cards, gsm (o/), gps (o/).
But not to worry, improvement is on the way, and the speed that this
moves on with the openmoko team and the community, I'm pretty sure this
(and most other issues) will be solved sooner than later.
